This deck gets to the point when it kind of just stops cycling. To help I included a few cards that can still force to cycling e.g. nenya (pull first turn with the ring) woodhall elf and alliance reforged. The idea is to put a sauron on top of your deck w/gandalf (losing initiative) play a forearmed for -18 (or 20), also you can use elrond to get back forearmed and draw it back w/ hope comes / banners. Cirdan and celeborn have their uses but are mainly just there as throwaways/backup.
Shadow
Corsairs are the only shadow that really work with this fellowship, due to their ability to play off the top of the deck / discard pile. I got the gollum idea from someone on here. Sauron is more of a card for the fellowship but it has come in handy many times.
This deck needs some work. I recently cut it down from 38 on a side and this is the core of the deck. It could really use some more healing (maybe using elrond / galadriel as allys???) and corruption prevention (silver ewer + watch and wait or Sam{i know not expanded})but I don't want the deck to get bloated again. Any suggestions?
